I'll answer here as it does seem the best thread to address the Steam Install Issues with GWX 3.

I wrote the installer for GWX 3.
I'm the one to answer any questions about why or how it does what it does.

When it was written, there was no Steam or a very little concern about that.
You can browse for the install path after all.

The GWX Devs before me decided not to search your Windows registry for the install path.
With several good reasons.

At that time and system resources it would take longer to install.
You control the install and We don't mess with critical stuff.
(OK, Sorry about the fridge magnets)

Here's the real problem.
Everyone just click, click, clicks stuff!
And don't read what's going on.

IF I was to do a new installer?
How glareing could I change the install path window?
Would it work with AnnoyingDownloadPlacefromtheFuture if I changed it today?

So the message is abit put offish.
We didn't have that same problem on release.
To be honest, We never, ever tested , nor planned for that type Whoo Hoo event.
It was a non-issue at release as none of us had any physic powers left to see the future and how Steam would screw us over.

What you have is an installer that does things right like 3 years down the road?
Is it perfect?
No.
I wanted to have some more really Cool sounds and images.
Kpt. and Jimbuna had to tie me down.
